perhaps.  (Apparently HP has had trouble shipping a workable version
of curses - this part about Hcurses is familiar, in the context of
the broken 'select()' function in the 10.x curses).

To test, I would configure with
        rm -f config.cache config.status config.log
        setenv CFLAGS "-D_HP_CURSES"
        setenv LIBS "-lHcurses"
        configure
so that the configure script can do the 'right' thing.

Could you send me a copy of the curses.h so I can see what the _HP_CURSES
stuff ifdef's?  (If it's useful, I'll try to design a test to pick up the
right stuff).  Thanks.

Also - it'd be interesting (to me, anyway) to see if the test for
-lcurs_color failed because the library was not installed, or because of an
error in the script.
